[quote=Anonymous]I had cancer two years ago--no kids. DH went with me to my surgery and the follow up appointment where I got my diagnosis. When I had chemo he would drop me off for some of my chemo sessions and pick me up (he sat with me for the first time; my appts lasted 5-6 hours)--sometimes friends or family would take me. I had to go 5x a week and he was a contractor with no paid time off so my brother came to town to help out.

DH would do the shopping, laundry, walk the dog (unless my friends offered to do so), cook if no one brought over food(I could make eggs and oatmeal and that was it), and make me special smoothies with potassium-rich foods when I got deficient. We had a house cleaner.  He was really great, even though he was kind of cranky at times.

He got really run down himself, and once I started to feel better he came down with all sorts of things from the stress.

I also watched my dad with my mother, and he took her to all her appointments and waited on her hand and foot.

I'm sorry your  husband isn't doing all that he might. Everyone responds in a different way. [/quote]
